Connecting With Mainers

I learned how employees at Whitney Wreaths hand-selected the right balsam trimmings to assemble each wreath.
Wendell Bradford, A.C. Inc.'s quality control officer showed me the cold water storage of live lobsters in the town of Beals.
At the Passamaquoddy Tribal Council Chambers Office in Indian Township I met with Chief Joseph Socobasin, Vice Chief Clayton Sockabasin and Eddie Dugay to talk about economic development projects the tribe is working on.
I met with Nat Lindquist, Ellen Rossi, and Tom Gardner of Wyman's of Maine at their Cherryfield production facility which processes 400,000 pounds of wild blueberries each day.
I joined members of the Eastport Port Authority to discuss infrastructure, the planned upgrades to the Eastport Breakwater terminal, and the importance of the port to our state.
Last month, I was also thrilled to attend the 14th Annual FIRST LEGO League Championship where over 70 teams spent the day showingcasing the abilities of their robots. It was a very cool event and fun to watch!
